September and October
Traffic Increases Due
To $80 Excursion Fare
New York—In the first six days
of this month passenger business
on TWA's domestic routes in the
United States was up by 21.3%
over the same period of 1954.
At the same time passenger
volume during September increased by 14.2% over September,
1954. C. S. Fullerton, general sales
manager, said the increase reflected the popularity of the new
30-day round-trip transcontinental
tourist excursion fare of $80 each
way which TWA was the first to
put into effect on Sept. 12 and to
the steady increases in tourist accommodations. As of Sept. 25
TWA's luxury Super-G Constellations began offering multiple
service both first-class and tourist,
including non-stop coast-to-coast
flights.
Preliminary domestic figures for
September, 1955, show TWA flew
276,984,586 revenue passenger
miles as compared to 242,483,533
in September, 1954.

congratulating all local TWAers
on their role with TWA and their
help in making the airline's operation successful.

fare at the new low rate. TWA's
Time Pay plan for installment
buying of transportation may also

Father, Presumed Dead,
Found After 32 Years
By Kansas City TWAer
By BILL EARNHART
Field Editor
Kansas City—A reunion in Ft.
Worth, Tex., recently ended a
separation of 32 years for a Kansas City TWAer and his father,
long presumed dead.
R. J. "Tex" Lemaster, accessory
overhaul mechanic at the Overhaul base, lived for most of his 32
years believing his father was deceased. Then he came into possession of information leading him
to hope that his father was still
living.
Tex hired a detective agency to
follow up the lead and each report
increased his hopes that the search
would be successful. Finally, the
trail led to Ft. Worth where the
senior Lemaster was located.
A happy reunion between Tex
and his father—along with Tex's
wife and two tiny daughters —
brought an end to the long
separation.

TWA Backed
By Northwest
In Manila Bid
Washington — TWA's proposal
to extend its present international
route beyond Bombay and Ceylon
to Manila was supported by Northwest Airlines at a preliminary
hearing before CAB Examiner
William J. Madden.
"Northwest Airlines hopes to see
TWA's application granted as
promptly as possible," NWA's attorney commented at the prehearing conference.
Approval of TWA's application
would establish a second U. S. flag
round-the-world service enabling
TWA to connect with NWA at
Manila. A round-the-world service
by the two carriers was originally
contemplated in 1946 when TWA
was authorized to join NWA at
Shanghai. This route, however, wai
closed off because of communist
activity in China and TWA subsequently requested an extension to
Tokyo via Hong Kong which the
CAB did not grant.
A hearing to consider TWA's
new proposal has been tentatively
scheduled for Jan. 24.
Helicopter Transfers
To Be Furnished Free
Between N. Y. Airports
New York — Free helicopter
transfer service between the three
major New- York airports -will be
available to TWA passengers arriving or departing on trans-
Atlantic flights, TWA announced
last week.
The free shuttle service will go
into effect Nov. 1, subject to CAB
approval. The service will be between New York International airport and LaGuardia and Newark
airports for the convenience of
passengers on TWA's international
flights arriving or departing on
domestic flights to or from either
airport.
Since August TWA has had a
joint-fare agreement with the
helicopter service—New York Airways—providing reduced fares between the New York airports and
such points as Stamford, Conn.,
White Plains, N. Y., and Teterboro,
New Brunswick and Trenton, N. J.
These helicopter fares may be included in a single ticket on TWA
domestic flights in the United
States. These fares have been
further reduced, for passengers
transferring to and from domestic
flights at different airports, to $3
between New York International
airport and LaGuardia and to $5
between the International airport
and Newark.
TWA also pointed out that it
will continue to provide free
ground transfer service to international connecting passengers between the three airports.
Baltimore Club Beits,

shrimp dinner at the Wade Inn.
